Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co. proudly announces a new softer polyurethane tread-Polysoft™--formulated for a quieter operation and greater resistance to foreign objects and debris (F.O.D.). The new, livelier material reduces vibration in the wheel that results in a quieter ride and less wear and tear on the caster and cargo. In addition, the new urethane has been engineered to repel steel chips, nuts, bolts, pins, etc.

This softer polyurethane measures 83-85 durometer on the Shore A scale compared with the industry-standard hardness of 90-95 Shore A. The urethane takes on "super ball" - type properties that offer an energized wheel. The new formulated wheel has found popularity among automotive plants and those customers wanting to lower factory noise levels, improve floor protection, and reduce tread failures.
